In the National Museum collection are a number of specimens that 

 had been identified as Haploops tubicola, but upon close examination 

 several characters become apparent that do not agree with that 

 species and that appear important enough for the founding of a new 

 species. 



The relative lengths of the first and second antennae are about as in 

 E. tubicola, and the second antenna is a little more than one-third 

 the length of the entire animal. The first joint of the peduncle of 

 the first antenna is much stouter than is usual in the genus Haploops. 

 In large specimens there are about 30 joints in the flagellum of the 

 first antenna, and 50 in that of the second. The top of the head 

 is produced only slightly forward, the lateral angles are rounding, 

 and the lower lateral margin is straight. The single pair of eyes 

 is located as in H. tubicola. The mouth parts are as figured by 

 Sars for H. tubicola ® except that the palp of the first maxilla is 

 distally broader. The outer plate is armed with 11 serrate spine 

 teeth, and the palp bears 7 marginal spines on distal edge. Side 

 plates 1 to 3 are like those of H. tubicola, except that 2 and 3 are 

 not so rounding distally. Side plate 4 is deeper with the lower 

 margin more convex, and the posterior lobe broad and evenly 

 rounded, not acutely pointed as in H. tubicola. Peraeopods 1 and 2 

 as in H. tubicola. Peraeopods 3 and 4 as in H. tubicola, except that 

 the hind margin of the second joints is much more strongly lobed.
